paying down our deficit. it is kicking the can down the road and frankly, we are out of road. >> you would think that those people would all be pushing to take credit for our incredible deficit reduction celebrating that there would be press conferences. but no, there was nothing. what makes that nothing this week so very ironic is that not only did republicans essentially ignore the cbo report but they chose to spend the time they should have been out celebrating our lowest predicted deficits since 2008 trying once again to repeal obama care. they voted for the 37th time to repeal obama care despite the fact that there is good reason to believe that obama care is to credit for much of the remarkable deficit reduction projected this week by the cbo. the deficit reduction republicans used to hold up as their entire reason for being. because the biggest driver of our long term deficits is rising health care costs and -- get this -- between 2009 and 2011, total health spending grew at the lowest annual pace in t
